So much is available for us on this side of eternity, but if we are malnourished physically, relationally, and spiritually, we will not attain the power that is rightfully ours. God said, "Let us make man in our image," and then proclaims that what He made was very good! Every color of skin, every texture and color of hair, every shape of the nose, lips, and hips are good in His eyes.

Once we understand this we can move forward from a firm foundation. Weight loss and health goals are awesome as long as the lust of flesh, the pride of life, and the lust of the eyes don't accompany those goals. We need to be balanced spiritually, physically, and emotionally. When your body is getting all the nutrients it needs, when it is eliminating toxins, when the digestive system is working properly and hormones are balanced, a healthy weight will be a natural response.
